A GIRL WITH A CAMERA ON A RAINY DAY

The morning started with significant rainfall. I was awake at 8:34 and I couldn’t get back to sleep, so I got out of bed and started my ritual of Saturday cleaning. Since rent is due today, however, I delayed cleaning to walk over to the office. For some reason, I decided to take my camera with me.

It was just after 10 a.m. and though the air was still heavy and humid, a cool breeze blew as I walked. I handed in my check, went back outside and started taking pictures.

The first two are actually impressions under about 2 inches of puddle. I guess when they did some cement work, people couldn’t help themselves.

The next two shots are of runoff from the roof of one of the garage units. How I managed not to get wet is a miracle.

This last pic made me laugh. I’m not sure why… maybe it’s because I’ve done it so many times. I almost always don’t notice I’ve stepped in the mud until I slip – like this person did.
